Leopard

Description

"The Leopard, Felis leopardus, is about half the size of the tiger, being two feet high and four long, and is distinguished alike for the elegance of its form, the grace of its movements, and the beauty of its skin. The latter is of a pale yellow color, marked with small tawny spots, united in circular or quadrangular groups, these groups bein arranged nearly in rows, and covering the whole body." — S. G. Goodrich, 1885
